# Guss Pickles: Agent-Direct Score D (42.6%) Site: https://www.gusspickle.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/gusspickle.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Guss Pickles is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Guss Pickles's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through goldbely.com. ## Direct links - Phone: (718) 933-6060 - Address: 445 Albee Sq, 11201, Brooklyn ## Nearby, also direct Places near Guss Pickles that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Eight Turn Crepe (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/eightturncrepe.com - Moritz Fries Bar (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/moritznyc.com - Fat Fowl (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/thefatfowl.com - Petisco Brazuca | Downtown Brooklyn (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/petiscobrazuca.com - Teppan Territory (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/teppanterritory.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Guss Pickles > local business in 445 Albee Sq, 11201, Brooklyn, New York.
